I’ve got to hold on

I’m not a pioneer or a conqueror
Not a pirate or a spy
I’m not the first one in a row
To expose myself I’m just too shy

I’m just mainstream as they call it
may be average as well
more a follower than a leader

But I’ve got to hold on

I’m more a listener than a talker
and I don’t need small talk or tweets
Communication’s overrated
just made to stimulate your needs

I might seem to be old fashioned
but I stick to what I feel
and I resist to all these USP’s

so I’ve got to hold on
Yes I’ve got to hold on

I might be mainstream as they call it
I may be average as well
more a follower than a leader
but I’m sure about myself

and I’ve got to hold on
Yes I’ve got to hold on
I’ve got to hold on
Yes I’ve got to hold on

Big weird love

That I’m still standing
even though there’s lots of reasons to fall
that I don’t give up
even though sometimes I’m sick of it all

The power that I’m feeling
all the energy that’s turning me on
it’s comin’ from deep inside
and I know what to blame it on

I don’t believe in religion
even though I think there must be someone
I don’t need all those prayers
even though I do respect everyone

This cumbersome strength
that I’ve been searching for so long
it’s comin’ from deep inside now
and I know what to blame it on
and I owe it to this big weird love
and I owe it to this big weird love

It’s a veritable feeling
The emotions are intense
my mood goes through the ceiling
and I don’t care if it’s making sense

The power that I’m feeling
all the energy that’s turning me on
it’s comin’ from deep inside now
and I know what to blame it on

and I owe it to this big weird love
and I owe it to this big weird love

The scars will remain

It started with a promise
and it sounded so honest
that I couldn’t do else than rely
Now that the promise’s broken
I’m hooked up in memories
of moments of pain that passed me by

When it hit me like a hammer
when it shook me through and through
When I finally had to realize
I’ve been taken for a fool

Time might heal the wounds
but the scars will remain

The biggest fault I made
was to wait and to keep quiet
was to hope I’d been mistaken
though ev’rything seemed clear

I’ve been lyin’ to myself
took a wrong kind of regard
I should have been exploding
let my anger find its way
Instead I let it happen
that it hurt me deep inside
down to the bone

It seems to be senseless
I feel that everything’s said
and I don’t dare to speak up again
I’m running out of arguments
I know I’m repeating myself
It becomes the “same ol’ story” thing

I’ve missed the right moment
it’s gone and don’t come back
But it doesn’t make a difference
The train is on its track

Time might heal the wounds
but the scars will remain

Give it a try

Now that things are going forward
I feel myself caught in a trap
Yeah I was longing for a change
and did the first big step

But still I’m not convinced that
I want to challenge myself this way
I guess they call it the comfort zone
and I fear that’s where I’d like to stay

I’m hiding myself and I don’t know why
It seems to happen to me that I feel too shy
I’m longing for appreciation, for tribute and reputation
but then I have to give it a try

And so I’m sittin’ between the chairs
A coward in despair
A gun without a trigger
a gun without a flare

But there’s still a force inside me
that doesn’t give me a rest
a force that keeps on tellin me
to go out and do my best

I’m hiding myself and I don’t know why
It seems to happen to me that I feel too shy
I’m longing for appreciation, for tribute and reputation

I’m hiding myself and I don’t know why
It seems to happen to me that I feel too shy
I’m longing for appreciation, for tribute and reputation
but then I have to give it a try

As soon as you ask me

I could have said a word – I could have given you advice
I could have listened to you – even if it takes all night
I’m not a trainer or a coach – I’m not a missionaire
But I’ve experienced a lot – and I got a lot to share

As soon as you ask me – no matter if you’re wrong or right
As soon as you ask me – I will be by your side

And I ‘ll promise you – that you’ll get it all for free
I don’t wanna deal with you – cos you mean so much to me

As soon as you ask me

It’s just a simple thing – it doesn’t take much time
It doesn’t cost a lot – of course it ain’t no crime
But it’s up to you – to make up your mind
I’m not forcin’ you – and I’m not the curious kind

As soon as you ask me – no matter if you’re wrong or right
As soon as you ask me – I will be by your side

And I ‘ll promise you – that you’ll get it all for free
I don’t wanna deal with you – cos you mean so much to me

As soon as you ask me – no matter if you’re wrong or right
As soon as you ask me – I will be by your side

And I ‘ll promise you – that you’ll get it all for free
I don’t wanna deal with you – cos you mean so much to me

As soon as you ask me

Push the button

The pressure’s increasing, the pain is in your chest
but you don’t even care
The hours seem just like minutes, you feel you missed a rest
no you got no time to spare

You’re just about to fail or to be wrecked
if it keeps going on like that
You’re longin’ for the moment to step out
but you’re caught in your own trap

Push the button, pull the lever
Break the chain
Tear the rip cord, tread the brake
Cut the strain

You’re a hamster in a wheel that’s pushed by someone else
you can’t just keep the pace
This weird machine keeps turning, rotating all the time
it seems you’ll lose the race

You’re just about to fail or to be wrecked
if it keeps going on like that
You’re longin’ for the moment to step out
but you’re caught in your own trap

Push the button, pull the lever
Break the chain
Tear the rip cord, tread the brake
Cut the strain

Push the button, pull the lever
Break the chain
Tear the rip cord, tread the brake
Cut the strain

(It’s all about) decisions

I lost another day
reasoning ’bout what happened
instead of making plans
well, who cares about the past

I lost another chance
to say what’s on my mind
to make clear what’s left behind
and what’s still there to last

Life is full of greyscales
there’s not only black and white
And from time to time it happens
that you just need to decide

It’s all about decisions
It’s all about not to let it go
There’ll be always open issues
but in the end it’s yes or no

The side you’re on the stone to throw
The choice to take the way to go
The one to love the place to live
The job to do it’s YES or NO

The side you’re on the stone to throw
The choice to take the way to go
The one to love the place to live
The job to do it’s YES or NO

Life is full of greyscales
there’s not only black and white
And from time to time it happens
that you just need to decide

It’s all about decisions
It’s all about not to let it go
There’ll be always open issues
but in the end it’s yes or no

It’s all about decisions
It’s all about not to let it go
There’ll be always open issues
but in the end it’s yes or no

You keep on hidin’

Call it jealousy, call it suspicion
Something’s drivin’ me to be on the alert

You done me wrong an’ i have told you
that next time will for sure be the last

You might’ve had reasons
at least you told me some
but how can I be sure that this was all?

I still believe that there’s a lot more to be said
and once more
I want you to stand tall

You keep on hidin’
you’re as slippery as an eel
you’re no more the one I used to know
You keep on hidin’
but it’s so hard for me to pack my things and go
cause there’s no way back
unless you stop this show

So many things that happened in my fantasy
have turned out to be reality
Everytime I think of something worse
I find some evidence that it could really be

You keep on hidin’
you’re as slippery as an eel
You’re no more the one I used to know
You keep on hidin’
but it’s so hard for me to pack my things and go

You keep on hidin’
you’re as slippery as an eel
You’re no more the one I used to know
You keep on hidin’
but it’s so hard for me to pack my things and go
cause there’s no way back
cause there’s no way back
unless you stop this show

My child

Now that my child has grown
I start to find myself some sort of rearranging
I don’t feel old enough to throw away the thoughts
and things that kicked me 20 years ago

Now that my child has grown
the problem seems that I’ve been growing up as well
that I lost track of all those sweet things that I felt
and lost the faith in what I used to believe in

Nowadays my child she asks me
where all the good ideas I had have vanished
when I started or decided to give up
when I realized my faith was lost

where my confidence and where my
consciousness from former times have gone
She’d try to find ’em and conserve them
to make something better out of it

and I’m wishing her well
yes I’m wishing her well

Where have all the flowers gone?
All the anger has turned into resignation
The heroes of my younger times are
dead or behaving like ridiculous old idiots

History is somethin’ useful if you learn from
otherwise it’s just a meaningless mass
of numbers, facts and battlefields and
dates

She listens to me talkin’
I don’t know if she tries to understand
I admit that I tend to doubt it
and maybe she is doin’ the right thing

Rio and Stuart have vanished
into paradise or hell
She’s gotta find her own way
and if she needs ’em find her idols by herself

and I’m wishing her well
yes I’m wishing her well

Destined to fail

Read it in a book or in a paper
that success is all you need
If you’re the best in all aspects
your life is absolutely complete

The race is on
The sense has gone
You’re jealous, and you’re strong
You beat the others
but I tell you that you’re destined to fail

Oh yes you are competitive
You like to fight to be the number one
You lost your sensitivity, the rest of your humanity
is gone

The race is on
The sense has gone
You’re convinced to do the right thing
You beat the others
but I tell you that you’re destined to fail

One day it will be over, all your
power and your passion will be gone
Forget about your victories they’re not
of any sense for anyone
You’ll look into the mirror all you see
is just another broken man
You lost the biggest fight on earth
but man, be sure that I don’t give a damn

You’ve had your chance
don’t say that no one told you
You’ve had it in your hands, but
You beat the others
and I told you that you’re destined to fail
You’re destined to fail
You’re destined to fail
You’re destined to fail

The thrill is gone [All I need to know]

Summer’s gone and autumn’s round the corner
the birds are headin’ south
and the pavement’s full of leaves

The fog lies on my mind and on my soul
I feel the climate’s changing
and the impact is quite deep

I feel it’s not the first time
it’s just a normal change
but every time it comes again it’s strange

I just wanna know if this was all
I just wanna know if there’s something more to come
All I need to know is that it goes on
cause I feel that the thrill is gone

I feel it’s comin’ nearer
and I ain’t ready now
I’m always in the rear somehow

I just wanna know if this was all
I just wanna know if there’s something more to come
All I need to know is that it goes on
cause I feel that the thrill is gone

Yeah I just wanna know if this was all
I just wanna know if this night is not too long
All I need to know is that it goes on
and I do expect there’s something more to come

Yeah I just wanna know if this was all
I just wanna know if this night is not too long
All I need to know is that it goes on
and I do expect there’s something more to come

All the things she couldn’t say

Every night she lies awake in bed
she’s recalling all the nights
when he was lying next to her
All the dreams she ever had
are fading in her memory,
and when she finally falls asleep
the tablets did their work

Her night’s a long black tunnel
and it never seems to end
She doesn’t notice anything
there is no need to defend

All the things she couldn’t say
all the time that swept away
all the energy she had has gone and nothing’s left to stay
There’s no target there’s no way
all the colours fade to grey
all her courage is just blown away

Life was low when he was there
but it worsened since he went
although she longed to be alone
she’d never thought of all the
emptiness around her
and the feeling that the better years have gone

She wakes up in the morning
and the rain begins to fall
A new day lies in front of her
but she doesn’t care at all

All the things she couldn’t say…..

No one around

I’ve been gone one rainy morning, feeling tired, sick and hurt
You did not try to keep me, you didn’t say a word

I’ve been walking round in circles, all my plans they seemed to fail
Since the day I packed my bag I feel that I found back my way
I hang on to my dreams, and I try to make ’em real
and nothing’s gonna stand in my way
cos there’s no one around….

How does it feel with that emptiness inside you?
How does it feel when you don’t see a light?
How does it feel with the darkness all around you?
How does it feel alone in the night…
when there’s no one around

Well the times they are a-changin’ but you’re just the last to know
lots of things were rearranging and I tried to make it show
But you hang on to the past, and you try to make it last
but now it’s you that’s sittin’ here alone….
’cause there’s no one around
’cause there’s no one around
Yeh there’s no one around…

No one left to talk to…no one left to care
No one left to lean on…no one left to share
No one left to talk to…no one left to care
No one left to lean on…no one left to share

I’ve been gone one rainy morning, feeling tired, sick and hurt
You did not try to keep me, you didn’t say a word

Hope or desperation

Yes, I know, I’m starting again, I just can’t wipe it away
I’m so fed up of running around, so fed up of what they say
I shouldn’t let myself go – ey, I did not intend to do so
I just need some more time, I promise it won’t take too long

Don’t get along with all the hectic, my mind is full of due dates
it is full with undone issues which I am just exchanging
Silence I find only in my car, and that seems insane to me
Seems I don’t need only time to make myself feel free

Is this just a matter of faith? Of hope or desperation?
What’s been offered in the demo was only for information

I still believe in something better or maybe in something bigger
Without any sort of clue how I should prove it
(just to make you believe)
There’s got to be something more there and it must be quite a lot
What has happened here so far can never have been all

Is this just a matter of faith? Of hope or desperation?
What’s been initially offered was only for information

Is this just a matter of faith? Of hope or desperation?
What’s been initially offered was only for information

Time and time again

Sometimes I find myself
thinking about the time
the years and the ages
that just went by
More and more things
seem to be long ago
before they get lost in the past
I’m gonna try to

Keep it in my mind
that the past ain’t just a passed time
Keep it in my mind
Time and time again

We’re running through the ages
we see the children grow
We never feel us changing
seems we’re just the last to know
Lookin’ into the mirror
is the only thing we do
but everyone gets older
and there’s always something new

Our minds cannot compete
with the speed of all those changes
confusion is complete
cause nothing rearranges
We’ve got to have a break
and we’ve got to find the time for
What happened in the past shouldn’t be
forgotten

(and so we got to) Keep it in our minds
that the past ain’t just a passed time
Keep it in our minds
that there’s always something to learn
Keep it in our minds
that we never know what it’s good for
Time and time again
Time and time again
Time and time again

I don’t care

Thought I saw you laughing when I met you last time
Thought I heard you sayin’ that you never was mine
Thought I had to clean up my ears after that
Seemed to me my ears and my eyes had gone mad

As long as we used to share table and bed
You could rely on what I did and I said
Never gave you a reason for inconfidence
I guess that you just don’t know what that means

I don’t care what you do I don’t care what you think about me
I don’t care what you talk ’cause I know you’re not able to see

Think you are the last one I wanna see now
Think you made me sick but I just don’t know how
I’m askin’ myself why I’m feelin’ so bad
why I’m feelin’ if someone keeps knockin’ an’ bashin’ my head

Maybe cause you showed me all of that stuff
I didn’t believe to find in our love
How could I be so blind and hurt
not to see that I’m goin’ to be the jerk

I don’t care what you do I don’t care what you think about me
I don’t care what you talk ’cause I don’t want you talkin’ ’bout me
I don’t care what you do
I don’t care what you do

But where is the one to explain to me
why I think of you all the time?
Leave me alone in my emptiness
holding on to pretend to feel fine

I don’t care what you do I don’t care what you think about me
I don’t care what you talk ’cause I don’t want you talkin’ ’bout me

I don’t care what you do I don’t care what you think about me
I don’t care what you talk ’cause I don’t want you talkin’ ’bout me
I don’t care what you do
I don’t care what you do
I don’t care what you do
I don’t care what you do!

Out to the night

I remember the times when I lived for the next day
when I didn’t had no aim as to survive
I remember the times when I could not stand
all the people around that seemed to be happy

Wasn’t looking for a sense in my life
Didn’t wish to find out what it means to be alive
Hiding the tears, I was torturing my soul
Hiding the anger, I couldn’t stand it any more

If there’s no way you see as your way
you step out to the night
no reason to fight

When you fell in my life, you found me helpless like you were
I’d got to find my role somewhere but I was well prepared to share

Never thought that anyone could tear me up like you
Never thought that anything could kick me like you do
Never thought that anyone could make me feel so high
Never thought that ever I could really see the sky

If there’s a way you feel as your way
you get on without fright
you feel the power to fight

If there’s a way you feel as your way
you get on without fright
you feel the power for the fight

Starin’ at the light

Woke up from a sound somewhere outside my room,
so I stepped to my window
A burning ball of fire was shinin’ brightly
beyond the horizon
Silhouettes of houses, cars and people
black in black with dancing shadows
Felt like a stranger in this world ‘cause there was
nothing in our street I recognised

I hurried down the stairway in my sleeping suit
and headed for the back door
Something deep inside of me was driving me
to tumble through the night
Outside in the backyard I met creatures
that I never knew before
I heard somebody call WATCH OUT
but when I looked at him he paralysed

Starin’ at the light I tried to call someone by name
but no one answered
People without faces seemed to crawl upon my room
I filled with fear

Was it just the night before or all those sleeping tablets?
Was it just the beer or really the end of the world?
When there’s no left to talk to you’re gonna loose your mind
You beg that someone calls you to come home

Starin’ at the light I tried to call someone by name
but no one answered
People without faces seemed to crawl upon my room
I filled with fear

No one knows

Take a look at the river
you knew since you were young
take a look at the trees around your
house they seemed so strong
spent your time in the forest
felt the air that gave you strength
took a shower in the waterfall
well you didn’t miss a thing

When the trees begin to fall there ain’t no place to hide
When you hear the nature’s call it’s too late to step aside
When the trees begin to fall our world’s last chance is gone
cause money is the last thing we can breathe

No one knows how long it takes until we are forgiven
No one knows how many tears will fall
No one knows if sometimes we’ll be rescued by a wonder
or we’ll be found dead
we’ll be found dead
we’ll be found dead
as victims of ourselves

See the people with the pick-ups
See the trucks in the night
When sun rises
they’ll be out of sight
What they’re leavin’ behind is poison
for our one and only nature
What they’re leavin’ behind is
gonna kill us all

When the trees begin to fall there ain’t no place to hide
When you hear the nature’s call it’s too late to step aside
When the trees begin to fall our world’s last chance is gone
cause money is the last thing we can breathe

No one knows how long it takes until we are forgiven
No one knows how many tears will fall
No one knows if sometimes we’ll be rescued by a wonder
or we’ll be found dead
we’ll be found dead
we’ll be found dead
as victims of ourselves

Good advice

You tell me what the weather is like
You know exactly who is who
You know where all the flowers have gone
and what the government should do
Everything that’s going to happen
seems that you’ve already been there
Every time it’s news I think I tell
you know you know you know

You give me good advice
Good advice
But I think I won’t ask you twice
cause the whole lot of shit that you told me
ain’t worth nothing but a little smile

You know what my dreams are all about
You know the writings on the wall
And I what I should do for my health
compared to you I’m just too small
Ain’t nobody in this world
Who could stand such a lot of talk
Hey lady, could you should up for a
while?

You think you are the only one
You’re feeling as the number one
But I can tell you that you’re bound to fail

You give me good advice
Good advice
But I think I won’t ask you twice
cause the whole lot of shit that you told me
ain’t worth nothing

Think I can make it through the days
If you just don’t get in my way
or I have to tell you that you’re bound to fail

You give me good advice
Good advice

Have you heard?

(There were) times when you thought that you got everything
under control
every little step that he did
was supervised by you
sure, he met old friends, but you knew
you could rely on him so well
your love was oh so strong but you did no good
to keep him in a cage

Took you by surprise that he never said a word
Took you by surprise that he never said I’m hurt so bad
your love was oh so strong
but you did no good to keep him in a cage

Have you heard the news about your last love?
Have you seen him since he went away?
Take good care of the one you’re with
that’s what you should do next time

(There were) times when you thought that he could separate
into a life of his own
you ignored all the signs that you saw
oh you were so self-assured
All you gave to him was calculated well
nothing that he didn’t had to pay
but one thing you forgot in your selfish and your foolish way
and that was to give yourself away

Took you by surprise when he left and slammed the door
Took you by surprise ’cause you never got the kick before
your love was oh so strong
but you did no good to keep him in a cage

Have you heard the news about your last love?
Have you seen him since he went away?
Take good care of the one you’re with
that’s what you should do next time

Have you heard the news about your last love?
Have you seen him since he went away?
Take good care of the one you’re with
that’s what you should do next time

All by myself

Sittin’ alone in my hotel room
listen to the noise outside
I long to be with you now
watch the cars rushin’ by
spill a can of beer into me
count them like the cars
Look out to the window
up to the milliions of stars

Feel like a motherless child now
Feel like I’m goin’ nowhere
Hurry to the toilet
cos I need some fresh air

And I’m all by myself
I’m all by myself and I’m bored and lonely
all by myself

Starin at the TV
listen to the noise inside
How I wish to tell you
that I miss you tonight
I watch the speaker lying
he doesn’t seem to care
I myself don’t care ’bout news
just sit and drink and stare

I take another cigarette
tumble down the stairs
walk the streets without destination
I just need some fresh air……

And I’m all by myself
I’m all by myself and I’m bored and lonely
all by myself

And I’m all by myself
I’m all by myself and I’m bored and lonely
all by myself

Now that you’re gone

Now that you’re gone
I’m not sure what I’m gonna do
I was not prepared to be alone, I think I’m
missin you
To leave was not the hardest thing
that you put me through

Told me that there was another man
but I shouldn’t care
Nothing new to me was the fact
that I had to share
So much fools in love I think I know
but one like me is rare

I used to take the blame one me
love makes so blind
always on the run to keep you satisfied
but I didn’t mind
Ain’t no doubt about it now
that I’m the one who’s left behind

Now that you’re gone
I’ve got some idea what to do
Gonna get me a brand new shotgun
and give it all back to you
This will be a pretty answer to
all the things that you put me through

Tomorrow turns me on

I woke up this morning
everything was so clear
A new optimism was killing
yesterday’s fear
I know what I’ve done now
I know it wasn’t right
so I beg your pardon
and future shines so bright

Yesterday I identified myself as an asshole
Since today I know I only did something wrong
Tomorrow turns me on

They say that human behaviour depends on
myself and the situation I’m in
but I can’t change the situation at the
moment of action

If I make a mistake and I realize
I think that I will tell
If I hurt or fooled you
I think I’ll excuse as well
But I won’t hate myself
oh I won’t feel bad or small
cause at that moment
I thought it would be right at all

If there’s something to learn
I’ll do it with my whole heart
next time, next time
we’ll get it right

Yesterday I identified myself as an asshole
Since today I know I only did something wrong
Yesterday I identified myself as an asshole
Since today I know I only did something wrong
Tomorrow turns me on

Way of life

I don’t complain, if you’re not willing to share
my kind of interests, although I’d like you to care
my way of life doesn’t seem to be thrilling for you
and sometimes I wonder why I’m so caught up in you

Wherever you are you want me to be at your side
Wherever you go there’s no place for me to hide
Love is not pretty for me any more
cause all in all in all you don’t agree – to my

Way of life, my way of life
My way of life

You say that I ain’t got time for you
But you’re not willing to tell me what you want me to do
Call me egoistic – I call it strong
Whatever I do by myself – it seems to be
wro-ong!

Wherever you are you want me to be at your side
Wherever you go there’s no place for me to hide
Maybe I long for more than you’re able to give
Maybe I long for more but I can’t live
Maybe I long for more but I can’t live
Maybe I long for more but I can’t live

Your way of life
Your way of life

Free yourself

All the walls we built together, creations of our injured brains
The biggest one’s the wall between us, raised by the fear of getting hurt
But who do you fear now?
There ain’t anyone inside but you

Oh how I’d like to climb my walls, think I’m not strong enough to destroy them
To take a look on the reasons why we’re living in this isolation
Come on, take a look with me
You won’t be alone

Free yourself – climb the walls to see
Free yourself – and do it just to
Be yourself
uuuh…

Hold on – still it’s not enough
Hold on – even if it gets tough
Hold on – find a place to see

It takes a lot of courage to realise you’re not alone
To admit there might be other truths, when you’re always on your own
This world’s a crowd of egos
But together we will grow

Free yourself – climb the walls to see
Free yourself – and do it just to
Be yourself
uuuh…

It just ain’t enough

I work my back till it’s wrecked with pain
but no one seems to see
I do much more than I’m paid for
but the boss still don’t agree
When I ask him for a reason
why he still is not content
everytime I hear the same old
words

It just ain’t enough
It just ain’t enough
It just ain’t enough, so you
got to hold on

For at least two hours I try to
make you be real hot
But still you lay beside me
cold and listless like a rock
When I ask you for a reason
why you still are not content
everytime I hear the same old
words

It just ain’t enough
It just ain’t enough
It just ain’t enough, so you
got to hold on

It just ain’t enough
It just ain’t enough
It just ain’t enough, so you
got to hold on

My disappointment forces me
to write another song
but the boys keep telling me
I’m doin’ something wrong
When I ask ’em for a reason
why they still are not content
everytime I hear the same old
words

It just ain’t enough…..

I’m wastin’ my time

When I get up
everyday I hope that there will be some sense
When I get up
I just expect that there will be another chance

That there will be a different kind of people all around
who will be suspicious in their minds
who will be brave and strong enough to stop the others
tellin lies

I’m wastin’ my time
nothing will ever change
I’m wastin’ my time
no one will take the blame
I’m wastin’ my time
till it’s gone, gone, gone
and nobody will give it back to me

When I open my eyes
I have to realize that nothing changed at all
When I open my eyes
sometimes I wish someone would come and stop it all

Those fat me talkin’ bout the hunger far abroad
bishops talkin’ bout the sin
all those pretenders that keep holding on to their
everlasting lies

I’m wastin’ my time
nothing will ever change
I’m wastin’ my time
no one will take the blame
I’m wastin’ my time
till it’s gone, gone, gone
and nobody will give it back to me
